Paper Bag Palm Trees - taped two pool noodles together end to end with duct tape. Then I spray painted them brown. Each tree took about 100 lunch size paper sacks. I cut the bottoms off of all of them and then smooshed them down together. I slid the bags onto the pool noodles until I had the whole thing covered.

I cut the bottoms off of all of them and then smooshed them down together. I slid the bags onto the pool noodles until I had the whole thing covered. The bottom and top bag got taped onto the pool noodle with masking tape and kinda scrunched around to cover up the tape....Paper Bag Palm Trees

Marshmallow Catapult (This link is no longer available, but it's a fun idea and can be constructed by looking at the picture.) You can also make something similar with a toilet paper roll, paper towel roll, tape, rubber bands, pencil and marshmallow.
